  1. SATA, SAS, or SSD works. It depends on your requirements vs. budget. SSD Enterprise is the most expensive and generally far lower capacities, so not ideal for a file server serving many users. I don't see why you'd just put the OS on SSDs?
  2. Do you access it from a browser? I mean the management of it all.
  3. Will the localised server version work over multiple subnets out of curiosity?
  4. Other times I've seen date issues with spreadsheets/SIMS is to change the system region to USA (mm/dd/yyyy), then change it back to UK (dd/mm/yyyy).
  5. Why can't you highlight the whole column and format as date in Excel?
  6. I agree with previous statements - implement a transparent proxy, or request your provider to bypass the proxy for a group of IPs. Only problem with this is they'll need to be static (for ease), unless you start specifying reservations. Easier to bypass a block of IPs in sequential order rather than 10 random IPs.
  7. So long as you're an Enterprise Admin, you'll be able to see all.
  8. I've used both and Papercut is easily better. No competition really!
  9. It's per user, or per O365 account basically. Microsoft will probably soon realise why the take up is low if this pricing structure remains.
  10. Not entirely sure why Microsoft don't price this per Full Time employee as they do everything else Education wise?
  11. You won't unless MS Exchange is installed, however you will see proxyAddresses on the Attributes tab. This is where you can specify the Primary SMTP: (in capitals) and aliases, small smtp: SMTP: [email protected] smtp: [email protected]
  12. You can't in a local context. You'll have to create the GPO from scratch unfortunately by copying the settings on a real server.
  13. So a month down the line you need or want to make a change... you still can with Classic Shell at any time.
  14. Create a fresh GPO, then right click it and Import the settings.
  15. You can easily do this with Classic Shell, so all common folders are available directly on the Start Menu.
  16. Several things come to mind - - Update the BIOS - Update the NIC drivers - Remove the battery and have a coffee - Then put the battery back in and re-test. Failing this, re-image, just in case it's Windows. Out of curiosity also, if you boot to a Win PE environment, is the NIC always available? If yes, it would prove my theory it's a Windows install issue.
  17. That's correct, Apple's version of WoL only works in Sleep mode, not off mode. I agree it's odd, but I can only conclude it's to do the Apple's BIOS.
  18. 3.19 makes perfect sense, as businesses are typically offered prices net of VAT. To Joe Public you would expect the price advertised to include VAT, seeing as it's not an optional tax, again as mentioned in 3.19.
  19. O365 filtering is excellent with very very few e-mails getting through that shouldn't, plus it's easy enough to create Mail Rules for your pupils.
  20. If you haven't already, try updating your network card drivers (wired and wireless) where applicable.
  21. Within the Classic Shell install directory (in Program Files), there's a Zip file called PolicyDefinitions.zip. Extract its contents 'as is' so the language files go into en-us and the policy files in the same directory as per your list above. You should delete the Classic Shell folder in your above illustration as it serves no purpose.
  22. I believe you just copy the files into: C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions For a local configuration.
  23. This is discussed in the first post
  24. Account suffixes is easy - create the suffix and bulk change users in AD. I agree merging domains is more complicated.
